Abstract

Los países de la Cuenca del Caribe tienen una tradición en la producción de café a partir de la entrada del grano a América por esta zona en el siglo XVIII. A pesar de que la región perdió influencia en el mercado internacional del café en el siglo XX, el cultivo mantiene una importancia en la generación de divisas y empleo en los países productores. El objetivo de este documento es describir el estado del cultivo del café en la Cuenca del Caribe en el periodo 2000-2021. Para ello, inicialmente se presenta el panorama del mercado mundial del grano, destacando los principales productores, exportadores e importadores, así como el rendimiento por hectárea y el precio internacional. Posteriormente, se revisan los principales indicadores del cultivo en los países de la Cuenca del Caribe, para identificar las principales tendencias en la región en las últimas dos décadas. En general, se encuentra que la actividad ha venido perdiendo participación en la mayoría de los países de la Cuenca, con la excepción del dinamismo que exhiben algunos países centroamericanos, en particular Honduras, Guatemala y Nicaragua. **** ABSTRACT: The countries of the Caribbean Basin have a tradition in coffee production since the grain entered America through this area in the 18th century. Although the region lost importance in the international coffee market in the 20th century, the crop maintains its significance in generating foreign exchange and employment in producing countries. The objective of this document is to describe the state of coffee cultivation in the Caribbean Basin in the period 2000-2021. To do this, initially the panorama of the world grain market is presented, highlighting the main producers, exporters, and importers, as well as the yield per hectare and the international price. Subsequently, the main crop indicators in the countries of the Caribbean Basin are reviewed to identify the main trends in the region in the last two decades. In general, it is found that the activity has been losing participation in most of the countries of the Caribbean Basin, except for the dynamism exhibited by some Central American countries, particularly Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.
